Health Coach Samantha Gilbert – How I Got My First Paying Client

Your story matters. It’s powerful.


 


And one of the keys to a successful coaching business is focusing
on and developing your personal story so that you can share it
with the world.


 


Samantha Gilbert, the founder of Eat For Life, truly embodies
this wisdom.


 


Her story of healing is an inspiration but her journey to
becoming a successful coach wasn’t always easy.


 


She’s spent most of her life battling severe depression, anxiety,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, and body image dysmorphia. Since
finding her own path to wholeness, she’s dedicated to helping
others find this same healing path.


 


Building her health coaching business took some time. It took
tenacity, patience, and perseverance but she knew that people,
especially women, were struggling terribly. And she could use her
skills to help.


 


For 12 years she’s helped couples, women, and children from 13
countries heal their minds and body. She’s an expert in creating
customized therapies so true healing can begin and continue with
love, empathy, compassion, and biochemical individuality.


 


The story of how she found her first paying client, and what she
does differently today is one that every coach needs to hear.
